Boulder police ticket two after breaking up large University Hill party

Boulder police broke up a large Fourth of July party this afternoon on University Hill and cited two people who refused to leave the premises with obstruction of a peace officer, officials say.

According to Sgt. Jim MacPherson, with the Boulder police, officers were dispatched at about 2:45 p.m. to the complex of townhouses located at 1065 University Ave. on reports of a large, loud pool party.

Officers on scene estimated 400 people were at the party, and reported underage drinking and littering were taking place when they arrived.
